Hello Marc
hmmm, I deffinately did "apt-get update" before anything else. I
remember I started dselect, without choosing any packages it wanted to
INSTALL all packeges I installed in an upgrading (woody - sid) process
via apt, again. I was curious but thought that apt does not update the
database of dselect or whatever, so I said yes.
Later I tried to install xcdroast. I had xcdroast in woody installed
but didnt work (complaining about tix ). Apt just refused to install
xcdroast because of dependencies (as shown below). I tried different
thing without success. That was the point when I contacted the list
about my problem.
Joost, recommended me to use dselect. After starting it, in INSTALL
where allready ~30MB of different stuff. I remember it was mainly
libstuff but otheres as well (gpm, biff - and other UNWANTED stuff...).
I didnt say Y at this point. I SELECTed xcdroast and went to INSTALL
again. Now I had exactly the ~30MB + xcdroast nothing else. I said Y.
everything is working now.
